Description
... this book makes a cogent yet impassioned argument that the discourse of care and caring is inappropriate ... It deserves to be widely read, discussed and acted upon.' - Journal of Gender Studies 'The author ... has produced a piece of research that not only needs to be read and acted upon by as many people as possible, but which is written in a style that is digestible and enjoyable to read.' - Jim Thomas, Nursing Times 'This is the clearest, most compelling book on what disabled people want from 'community care' that I have ever read, ... it is destined to become one of the most influential pieces of writing in this area.' - S. Baldwin, Director, Social Policy Research Unit, York 'This is an important study which examines independent living both as the expressed wish of disabled people and as a central objective of Government policy ... Let's hope all those involved in community care don't just read it but make sure it changes their provision and practice.' - Michael Oliver, Professor of Disability Studies, University of Greenwich 'This is quite simply a marvellous text. It will boost the morale of disabled people, and widen the thinking of non-disabled policy-makers and professionals. To everyone it challenges the damaging and discriminatory images of passive and dependent disabled people to which we are all subject.' - Disability Now
